One thing about politics is this, you can disagree and argue all you want, but a POLITICIAN, a KNOWN POLITICIAN don't go to Hong Kong (territory of China) and slam the current sitting U.S. President. Sorry, I have not liked a lot of politicians, but going overseas to slam a sitting president to a communist territory is only one thing, "unpatriotic". This is why Palin won't be President of the United States.

Former U.S. vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, criticized for her lack of foreign policy experience, emerged in Asia on Wednesday to share her views from "Main Street U.S.A." with a group of high-flying global investors.In her first trip to the region, the former Alaska governor addressed an annual conference of investors in Hong Kong in what was billed as a wide-ranging talk about governance, economics and U.S. and Asian affairs.

Two US delegates left early, according to AFP, with one saying "it was awful, we couldn't stand it any longer." He declined to be identified.

"I'm going to call it like I see it and I will share with you candidly a view right from Main Street, Main Street U.S.A.," Palin told a room full of asset managers and other finance professionals, according to a video of part of the speech obtained by The Associated Press. "And how perhaps my view of Main Street ... how that affects you and your business."

Palin spoke out against government intervention in the economy. "We got into this mess because of government interference in the first place," Palin said, according to the Wall Street Journal. "We're not interested in government fixes, we're interested in freedom," she added.

OK, did you get all this? Then she talks about health care to foreign nationals, but again she does not do her homework, most of these countries already have universal health care and look at our country as idiots in not having it.

So, this is what Palin does give anti-American rhetoric on foreign soil. Is this patriotic? No, it is dumb just as she is. I am sure there will be a YouTube video floating around here soon on her speech.
